A NEW form of amusement, now in
vogue at Beaver Falls, Pa, is for num-
Der of young men to gather around a
natural gas torch and catch the June
bugs Or beetles, then put them on their
hands and BETH cigars as to which will
fly away the quickest. The bugs fly
directly for the gas torch, and another
plan is to bet on the one who will get in
flames first and be burned to death. 1t
is very exciting game, and the boys
say it beats base ball all hollow.

THE Secretary of War has done well
to advise the removal of the restric-
tons put upon the Mississippi River
Commission, by which it has been
prevented from carrying out its sensi-
BILE work Of bank protection and re-
Vetment. Those restrictions should
never have been placed upon
the Commission, the members of
which have learned by experience
the kind Of work most necessary in
carrying out the purposes for which
the Commission exists. This restric-
tion has already retarded the work of
river improvement, and has greatly
increased the cost of the work by de-
lays and the tying up Of necessarily
costly plants. The work of revstment
that has already been done is proof of
the value Of the theory upon which
the Commission is proceeding.
